La Boheme - Habitat Apartments

We stayed for a week and the location was centrally located and quiet. The apartment was clean and good for 1-2 people. As the other reviews have stated, the bathroom is tiny. You can't really bend over and use the sink with the door closed. The shower door doesn't close properly and water pours out onto the floor. If you're large or tall you might be uncomfortable with this. They provide a bath towel and a hand towel and for 5 euros extra they'll give you more, which is a little ridiculous to me. I've stayed elsewhere where they provide more at no extra charge. Fortunately there is a washing machine with a built in dryer in the unit. There are plenty of grocery stores within walking distance including an Aldi as well as a higher-end supermarket. There's an empanada shop, a cafe, a pizzeria, and a small market for things like paper towels and toilet paper all right outside the entrance. The main road with clothing shops is two blocks away, Ramblas is an 8-10 minute walk, and there are plenty of taxis passing in front of the building so you don't need to call an uber. The neighbors were all very quiet and overall I would recommend this apartment if you can get over the microscopic bathroom.

Really well furnished apartment. It has one AC split unit in the family room that serves the bedroom too. So it might be warm in summer. Bathroom is a bit small but functioning. Elevator to the apartment is antiquated. I got stuck in it for an hour! I would use the stairs if i go there again. Property managers add this to the description.

Apartment proved to be clean, charming and quiet. And management company was very responsive during booking and during stay.

Our stay was very relaxing and convenient. It was quiet and walking distance to the metro and Main Street to shop.

Nice

This unit isn't quite as charming as it appears in the photos due to it being inside-wall facing. The views are dreary. One of two large shades between the living room and balcony is obviously broken so that the shade is down all the time. A basic repair that should be made. Other than that, the apartment is fine for 2-3 people. Plenty of drawers and hanging spaces in the bedroom. The bathroom is tiny. I gave a lower rating to check in because the greeter didn't explain how to get the exterior door open from the street. It is difficult unless they tell you a special way to insert the key and push. Luckily, the management company (Habitat) has a 24-hour phone service which responded to our problem with the door, and resolved it. The unit is a close walk to some popular areas, especially the Block of Dischord (5-10 min), upscale shopping and Sagrada Familia (20 min).

This is a great place for a small group (3) in the middle of Barcelona. The place is clean, well organized, fully stocked (including washer/dryer) and very central to all activities. The beds are clean/comfortable and the kitchen is well organized. The amenities are all nice and we felt very comfortable. I would certainly stay here again during my next visit to Barcleona!

Location was very convenient to all of the main city sites. Safe neighborhood. Check in was super easy and convenient. Only minor issue was that heat was on when we arrived at apartment and set to 30 C on a hot day. AC didn't stand a chance until we discovered the heat and turned it off. AC is not strong and it took a couple of days to finally cool off the apartment. Not a huge problem overall. The apartment was a near perfect experience. There was some construction noise during a couple of days but it was not a major problem.

This was a great apartment, centrally located, clean and comfortable. We arrived on the weekend and everything was great until the work week started and the construction started with jackhammers. The property manager quickly and effeciently moved us to another property, which worked out well.

We got this place as I fully expected 'you get what you pay for'. It was nice to be close to anywhere you needed to be. It was larger than most rental properties but bathroom shower is small and the shower door doesn't completely close which lead to a lot of water in the bathroom. Construction right next door so bring ear plugs. I would return though given how nice it was. WiFi was 'okay'. We reset the router which helped.
